I had a water main break in front of the house yesterday morning and the pipe was fixed and operational by 4pm that afternoon. Best plumber around.

“Last Sunday we discovered a leak in the supply line to our home, which was underneath our driveway. I found Rx Plumbing online and called them. They called back with 5 minutes and they came out Monday morning to scope out the work. They were back here Wednesday morning, finishing by noon. Couldn’t be happier with every aspect of the work - responded quickly, came when they said they would come, did what they said they would do, charged what they said they would charge. They even went the extra step of cleaning off the driveway and watering the affected grassy areas.”

“Had to have 15 ft of my main sewer line repaired in a very difficult location. These guys did an excellent job of making sure not to damage my landscape while maneuvering around and through my front porch. They put everything back perfectly after they were done. I would highly recommend this company for any small or large job. Absolute professionals.

FAQs for Our Underground Plumbing Experts

  • If a section of your lawn stays wet when it hasn’t rained, it may indicate an underground water line leak or sewer pipe problem.

    Common signs of an underground leak include:

    • A constantly soggy or “squishy” area of grass

    • Unusually green or fast-growing patches of lawn

    • Standing water during dry weather

    In North Georgia’s heavy red clay soil, water drains slowly, so even small leaks can create visible wet spots in the yard. A plumber can inspect the area and locate the source of the leak before it causes further damage.

  • Locating an underground water leak can be difficult for homeowners without specialized equipment.

    Professional plumbers use advanced leak detection tools such as:

    • Acoustic listening devices that detect water escaping from pipes

    • Pressure testing to identify drops in system pressure

    • Electronic leak detection equipment

    These tools allow plumbers to locate underground leaks accurately without unnecessary digging or damage to your property.

  • Most underground pipe repairs can be completed with minimal disruption to your lawn or landscaping.

    Professional plumbers try to limit excavation and may use trenchless repair methods whenever possible. These techniques allow sections of pipe to be repaired or replaced without digging large trenches across the yard.

    The goal is always to repair the pipe while protecting your landscaping so that, in many cases, there is little visible evidence that work was performed.

  • The cost of underground pipe repair varies depending on several factors, including the depth of the pipe, the pipe material, and the repair method required.

    Factors that affect pricing may include:

    • Depth of the damaged pipe

    • Location of the leak

    • Pipe material and condition

    • Whether trenchless repair methods can be used

    After inspecting the underground line, a plumber can provide a clear diagnosis and a detailed quote before starting any repair work.

  • Underground water line leaks are most commonly caused by pipe aging, soil movement, corrosion, or tree root intrusion.

    Common causes include:

    • Corrosion in older metal pipes

    • Shifting soil or ground movement

    • Tree roots growing around or into pipes

    • High water pressure stressing pipe joints

    • Freezing and expansion during cold weather

    Over time, these issues can weaken underground pipes and cause cracks or breaks that allow water to leak into the surrounding soil.

  • Yes. An underground water leak can significantly increase your water bill because water continues flowing even when you are not using it.

    Signs of an underground leak affecting your bill include:

    • A sudden increase in monthly water costs

    • Water usage rising without changes in household habits

    • The water meter continuing to move when all fixtures are turned off

    If you notice these signs, a plumber can perform pressure testing or leak detection to confirm whether an underground pipe is leaking.
